They know what they're doing
They want a loyal force of thugs who don't care about the law
Of course, they will be cast aside when they aren't useful, but said thugs are happy at the thought of being allowed to hurt people

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I keep buying steel core ammo for when I meet em.
Good thing these were charged and sentenced as state felonies, you corrupt piece of shit.
They were convicted of conspiracy in federal court in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 2022. […] They are being held at a prison in Colorado
The state would have to charge them with something the Feds didn’t already charge them with (due to double indemnity laws), then issue warrants for their arrest, and hope they get arrested or turn themselves in. One of them doesn’t live in Michigan. I can’t imagine the other would move back. They could be extradited by another state, but then they have to be retried.
Still better than nothing, at least if they do get a bullshit pardon, they would maybe always have the specter of criminal charges hanging over them, and would fail any comprehensive background check. But they wouldn’t be in a cell in the interim.
Pardon lawyer? Just call him what he is: A fascist recruiter.
I wish this surprised me.
